Also I don't think you'd find many critics complaining simply because a movie was made that centered around "abduction."
If a movie was made in which a child is abducted for ransom and a parent decides that the only hope is to defy the abductors by screwing with their plans, since they probably plan to kill the child no matter what, then the movie better have something unique to offer that wasn't provided by Ransom.
I think for most critics it is ok to cover the same ground but the filmmaker has to provide a reason why, given the choice between A and the new B, you should choose B. Simply being more recent is not enough reason.
